Several of our young men went on
walking and camping excursion last
week over Mount Washington and
around home via Gorham. They are
so lame now they can scarcely get
around. We suppose they had good
| time.
Mr.. Reeds city boarders have gone
home. We understand he can have a
much larger party next year if he can
accommodate them. There are several
families in the village that could keep
quite number of boarders each, and
with the Heights House, Lunenburgh
could accommodate a good many, and
there would not be any trouble in
getting them if people here would
only wake up little in this matter.
There is no place in this whole mount
ain region where the scenery is any
grander, if us grand, as on Lunenburg
heights.
1t has been one of the worst times
ever known in this section for the
farmers to get their grain harvested
and finish haying.
J. G. Webster, formerly of this town,
now of Bakersfield, was taken violent
ly insane about two weeks ago, and
died last Saturday.
DIR. Green, who has been here only
q few months, is to leave soon, we
understand, and q DIR. Wight is to
take his place. DR.. Green has got
chance to go into a hospital for eight
cen months, which is his reason for
leaving town.
We hope the farmers of Lunenburgh
will take hold and get up town team
for the fair at Lancaster next Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, and also
take their other stock and farm pro-
duce over, and help get up a good
show. The fair grounds are now in
good hands, and have been fixed up in
good shape, and the prospects are that
there will be a good fair and big
crowd of people this year.
The following article was taken from
the Palo Alto Reporter, a paper pub
lished at Emmetsburg, Iowa, the home
of L. J. Hartshorn, formerly of this
town, and son of Hon. John w. Harris

A Household im Sorrow.
Again the relentless messenger of
death invaded an Emmetsburg house
hold, where there was yet mourning
and sorrowing of hearts fer loved ones
but recently laid away, and taken an
other idol, upon whom the tenderest
love and affection were bestowed, and
upon whom bright hopes of the future
were being built. Charles Eastman
uartshorn, eldest son of the Hon. E.
J. IIartshorn, died at his home in this
city, of infiammatory rheumatism, on
Thursday morning, Aug. Is, aged 10
years. AS Charlie had been confined
to the house less than O week many
had not learned of his sickness, and
the announcement of his death Thurs
day morning was a shock to the entire
community. Although not possessed
of so strong physical constitution as
|
took On active part in the manly
sports of his play-iellows and seemed
to be general favorite not only with
them, but with the older people with
whom he became acquainted and who
were won towards him by his unus-
ually developed mental powers and by
his courteous and manly bearing to-
wards all with whom he came in con-
tact. lie was a great sufferer from the
first, but retained consciousness until
his death, and his parting with his
grandmother, his father and little
brother was most touching and sad.
The loved ones around his bedside
seemed very dear to him, but the
thought of leaving them seemed in
measure to be robbed of its sadness by
the confidence he had that the other
loved ones were waiting to welcome
him home. 1t is Indeed sad visitation
to this household. For the fourth time
hath death entered it's sacred shrine
and robbed it of one of it's treasures.
First the baby, the youngest of the
flock, was taken from her mothers
arms, and its undefiled spirit waited
to brighter world; next little ten
year-old, golden-haired Susie, the idol
of the home circle, was stricken down,
and the hearts of those who loved her
so we'll were again left desolate; and
saddest of all, next come the death of
